Abstract :
The NIKE laser is a 56-beam angularly-multiplexed KrF laser system designed for inertial confinement fusion experiments. The last two amplifiers of the laser are both electron beam pumped systems. The smaller of the two has a 20cm × 20cm aperture. It uses a single 18 kJ Marx generator to produce two 300 kV, 75 kA, 120 nsec flat top electron beams that are injected into the opposite sides of the laser cell.
